This is fixed but I believe only in a newer model (Um3 or S5). After the UM2+ there was the UM3, S5, then S3, then UM2+C and they are due for a new printer any time one would think. There's no backward compatible "new print bed" that even comes close to fitting the UM2. As far as I know. Y
For the $, the UM2 and UM2+ are quite reliable. I also had to resolder the connector on my UM2 print bed. But only once ever. I also have 3 UM2go's but those don't normally come with bed heater so I have my own custom solution for those heaters so they don't count.
I have found that the UM2 is very reliable. I have seen some amazingly well worn UM2 printers that have had 5 kilometers (kilometers!) of filament pass through them that still work just fine.
The teflon part also needs to be replaced often. That is consider a "consumable" and Ultimaker graciously charges very little over cost for those.
It looks like you are in USA so I would contact support@fbrc8.com. They have extremely qualified staff and can tell you if there is a newer connector or whatever. Include your serial number in the email and they can see exactly what you got. They assembled all the UM printers sole in USA so they built your printer.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
